Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

kikkapi20 I love this show! It's one of the best dramatic shows that I've seen in quite some time, with splashes of humor thrown in for good measure. That's only partly why 'A Touch of Frost' is such a good TV show.avid Jason does the author's character, Jack Frost, justice, with his portrayal. He adds humor and pathos to him, thereby making him that much more of a realistic character and a better policeman overall. That's what gives this show flavor overall -- just seeing that irrelevant humor every now and then, helps to make the show worth watching. The chemistry within the cast is good as well, they seem to get along well and they're all good actors. I look forward to seeing every new episode that comes out on DVD, due to all of that. One of my favorite scenes was in either season nine or ten (pardon me if I got the season wrong -- it's been a while since I've seen them), when Jack got the promotion (even though he threw away the infamous "Grey Mullet" -- that was one of my favorite running gags from that show, it never failed to make me laugh) and as he was leaving the show, everyone saluted him. It was a class act all the way, and I loved how he kept the picture of himself in dress uniform, it showed how much he had grown as a character. Hopefully the new season will come out soon enough on DVD, so I can again watch Frost and company go after the bad guys with class and style.Please bring back the good shows!

CrystallineBlue What were the producers thinking concluding this magnificent series with an insipid American-style 'happy ending'! The Frost character and series deserved better. The decision not to use the 'alternate' end in which Inspector Frost dies makes no sense because the final episode storyline set the audience up for a tragic end: - As a longtime viewer I was rooting for Frost to finally find that special someone, but given Frost's lifelong bad luck with women I was also prepared for his relationship with lovely Phyllis Logan to once again be 'too good to be true'; - Inspector Mullet finally publicly acknowledges and honours Frost's extraordinary ability and dedication; - Frost's statement "I'm happy" immediately prior to the collision. The namby-pamby happy end deprived loyal Frost viewers of an emotionally-satisfying conclusion - a tragic end would be disturbing and emotionally complex as was the entire Touch of Frost series. The poignant gesture of Frost's hat placed on his coffin is a superb visual summation. Ending the series with Frost's death would be artistically powerful for David Jason and the audience, and in-line with the story arc of the series.

chris-1563 I'm an avid watcher (and reader) of British Detective/Crime movies, serials and novels... and this is one of the best. Second only to the Inspector Morse series, David Jason has created a singular character in Jack Frost. Frost is a tenacious and insightful detective whose reserve of empathy and feelings make him appear to be a bit of a misanthrope. In fact, in this respect I think that there are some real similarities between Morse and Frost, though their characters are in most ways quite different.A Touch of Frost isn't a police procedural-- it's much more psychological. The relationship between Frost, his boss (Superintendent Mullett), his colleagues, a potential romantic interest (rarely is the difficulty of someone's attempts to make romantic contact more realistically portrayed) and his rotating group of partners is often just as interesting as the mystery at hand.I don't think I've ever been compelled to comment in IMDb before... but this series should be seen by anyone who enjoys mystery series!

Sulla-2 I quite Like A touch of Frost and David Jason. It is a good programme to watch but I can't comment without criticising it. Frost does not look or act like a Police Officer. He hates doing paperwork and for this alone he would never have got promoted. Not only is he supposed to be well organised himself, he is also supposed to ensure that his Junior officers do their job properly. How could he possibly be in a position to criticise anyone, Fortunately he always has the reliable DS George Toolan ( who is not listed in the cast list on here )Yes, he is very good at solving crimes and he would make an ideal Detective Constable teamed with an officer who was well organised. I don't like him as a person. He is continually rude and his disrespect for Superintendent Mullet a decent enough man, really annoys me.
